|||SOLD||| An original condition WWII Japanese Arisaka Type 38 Rifle chambered in 6.5mm, One specific feature of type 38 was the sliding bolt cover, which protected the receiver openings from the harsh pacific climate. It proved to be a hinderance and often would give away the user position to US troops, as it rattled when the bolt was operated. Not surprisingly, many soldiers removed these covers from their rifles. However this example still has it . It also has the chrysanthemum on the receiver which were often ground off. The stock was a two piece construction, as pictured. This example comes with a reproduction leather sling. A real Pacific War bring back. Deactivated to old specifications it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. (For Non EU Sales Only) Please email before making purchase. |||SOLD|||
